17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "German Luxury or Repos a L Allemande, pub. 1800" by James Gillray captures a satirical scene of King Frederick Wilhelm III of Prussia in his bedroom. The image showcases the king's indulgent lifestyle and offers a humorous commentary on the German notion of luxury during that era. In this whimsical caricature, we see the king comfortably reclining on a mattress with his feet hanging over the edge. He is wearing a red nightcap and smoking a pipe while daydreaming amidst clouds of smoke. His bicorn hat rests nearby, along with his sword and scabbard. The room itself is filled with elements that highlight the king's laziness and extravagance. A chamber pot sits next to him, indicating his reluctance to leave his bed even for basic needs. A duvet covers him, providing warmth and comfort as he relaxes. Gillray's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate feather plume adorning the king's hat to the newspaper casually tossed aside on top of a commode. Overall, this artwork not only serves as an amusing satire but also provides insight into societal perceptions surrounding luxury and idleness during early 19th-century Germany.
